GRANDPA AND RENE

GRANDPA AND GREAT-GRANDSON (RENE) - I like this picture of Grandpa because he looks so happy in it. Rene was born on 5 Dec 1927 and Grandpa died 15 May 1936 when he was 82 years old. Rolen Rene Radcliff was the grandson of Grandpa's oldest child, Mareeda. Rene's mother, Irene, was Mareeda's oldest child. Mareeda married Benjamin Willey. Their first child, Anna Irene, was born on 6 Aug 1906. Irene married Glenn Andersenn when she was 18 years old. She was 21 when Rene was born. She died from uremic poison on 15 Dec 1927 when Rene was only 10 days old. He was adopted by Frank and Grace Radcliff and they were kind and loving foster parents to him. Rene died on 5 Mar 2001.

My Grandfather Jacob Andrew Boney


This picture of my grandfather, Jacob Andrew Boney, was taken when he was seventy-five years old. He was the son of John Boney and Julia Hipsley. He was born in Lawrence Township, Washington County, Ohio on August 9, 1853. The picture was probably taken about 1928 time frame. I have a couple of other pictures of him and a few impressions that I will post later. He died on May 15, 1936 when he was eighty-tw0 years old.

Great Grandchildren of Jacob Boney and Arminda

The wee ones pictured below with their mothers are great grandchildren of Jacob Boney and Arminda Pyles. The photo was probably taken in the summer of 1940 at Mareeda and Ben Willey's. The following information is written on the back of the photo but has not been verified.

The next group of three are descendants of Mareeda and Ben Willey. Clela Lois Delancey born December 8, 1919 is holding daughter Doris born December 4, 1939. Next is Clyde Edward Willey's wife Geraldine Porter. She is holding son Rodger (no birth date given). Olive Parker, wife of oldest son Lawrence Ervin, is holding daughter Lois Marie born October 1939.
